Pool Leak Detection Midrand
Find the Source of Your Pool's Water Loss
Crispy Pools provides pool leak detection in Midrand for swimming pools that are losing water through hidden plumbing, structural leaks, pool fittings or other areas. We investigate the pool and its plumbing to identify where the water is escaping before unnecessary digging or repairs take place.
With more than 15 years of construction and pool renovation experience, we approach leak detection from a repair perspective. Finding the leak is only part of the job. Understanding the pool structure, plumbing and surrounding areas helps us determine what needs attention.
Chris personally supervises major projects and stays involved in the assessment and repair process.
Is Your Pool Losing Water?
Constantly Topping Up the Pool
If you are regularly adding water to maintain the pool level, there may be a leak that needs investigation.
Water Level Keeps Dropping
A noticeable or unexplained drop in water level deserves proper investigation rather than continued topping up.
Wet Areas Around the Pool
Unexpected wet ground, damp areas or water appearing around the pool can point towards a hidden leak.
Pool Level Drops Below a Certain Point
A pool that consistently loses water until it reaches a particular level can provide an important clue about the location of the leak.
Previous Repairs Did Not Solve the Problem
If a pool continues losing water after previous work, a more targeted investigation may be required to identify the actual source.
Professional Pool Leak Detection
Pool Inspection
We inspect the pool, surrounding areas, visible plumbing, fittings and equipment to understand where the water loss may be occurring.
Pressure Testing
Pressure testing helps determine whether a pool plumbing line is holding pressure or losing it through a hidden fault.
Gas Leak Detection
Gas leak detection helps trace concealed plumbing leaks, particularly where pipes run underground, inside walls or beneath difficult-to-access areas.
Dye Testing
Dye testing helps investigate suspected leaks around fittings, cracks and other areas where water movement needs to be traced.
Targeted Investigation
We use the information from the inspection and testing to narrow down the suspected leak location instead of opening areas without evidence.
Where Pool Leaks Occur
Underground Plumbing
Pool pipes beneath paving, gardens, concrete or other surfaces can develop hidden leaks that are not visible from the surface.
Pool Structure
Cracks or structural faults can allow water to escape through the pool shell.
Pool Fittings
Cracks or structural faults can allow water to escape through the pool shell.
Raised Pool Walls
Pools with raised walls or unusual construction require careful investigation because plumbing and water movement may be concealed within or around the structure.
Pump and Filter Areas
Leaks around pool equipment and connected plumbing also need to be separated from leaks within the pool itself.
Detect the Leak Before Opening the Property
Evidence First
The purpose of leak detection is to establish where the problem is before unnecessary excavation or breaking takes place.
Targeted Opening
Once the suspected location has been established, the repair work can focus on the affected area.
Protecting Existing Work
Targeted investigation helps avoid disturbing sound paving, finishes and other parts of the property without a reason.
Finding the Actual Fault
The objective is not simply to confirm that the pool is losing water. We work to establish where the water is escaping.
Pool Leak Detection and Repair
Finding a leak and repairing it are two separate stages of the job.
Once the source has been identified, we assess the affected area and determine the repair required.
Plumbing Leak Repairs
Repairing the affected pool pipe or plumbing section.
Structural Leak Repairs
Addressing cracks or structural areas responsible for water loss.
Pool Fitting Repairs
Repairing or replacing the affected fitting where required.
Surface-Related Leaks
Investigating damaged or deteriorated pool surfaces where they contribute to water loss.
When Pool Water Storage Is Needed
Some leak investigations or repairs require the pool to be emptied.
Crispy Pools owns temporary water-storage bladders for suitable projects, allowing the existing pool water to be stored while work takes place.
No Separate Bladder Rental
The temporary storage equipment belongs to Crispy Pools, so suitable projects do not require a separate bladder rental charge.
Keep the Existing Pool Water
Storing the existing water also avoids unnecessarily losing a large volume of pool water and having to refill the pool during the project.
